Are green cellular base stations sustainable?
This study presents an overview of sustainable and green cellular base stations (BSs), which account for most of the energy consumed in cellular networks. We review the architecture of the BS and the power consumption model, and then summarize the trends in green cellular network research over the past decade.
How does a green base station work?
The green base station uses solar panels to generate electricity and store it during daytime by charging high-capacity rechargeable lithium–ion batteries. The stored energy from rechargeable batteries will be used to power the base station during the weather-related disaster when electricity supply from the grid is disrupted.
How do cellular network operators shift to green practices?
Cellular network operators attempt to shift toward green practices using two main approaches. The first approach uses energy-efficient hardware to reduce the energy consumption of BSs at the equipment level and adopts economic power sources to feed these stations.
